CUSTOM CONCRETE PATIO DESIGN
Stress is an everyday part of life, we all get that, but if left unchecked, it can cause some severe health issues. You might feel the effects of stress and think about ways in which you can deal with it. However, the things you do to relieve stress might not be the correct answer. You might think that scrolling Facebook is an excellent way to relax, but it’s not; if anything, your electronic devices are probably part of the cause of your stress. It’s time to ditch the smartphone, close the laptop and step out into your patio for some natural stress relief.
There are plenty of studies that show a link between exposure to the outdoors and stress reduction. In short, relief from stress occurs within minutes of exposure to the outdoors. Step into your backyard, and your blood pressure drops, muscle tension subsides, and cortisol, which is a stress hormone, levels are reduced. Being outdoors also boosts dopamine production and increases levels of endorphins, the hormones that promote happiness.
In addition to relieving stress and keeping you healthy, being outdoors provides a myriad of other benefits as well. Breathing in that fresh air has therapeutic properties, which increases your energy levels and improves positive feelings. Being outdoors also enhances creativity; sitting on your patio is a great way to restore your capacity for attention and concentration.
DO YOU APPRECIATE YOUR BACKYARD?
Let’s talk for a moment about the real reasons why you don’t spend as much time in your backyard as you should. One apparent reason is you lack free time. If this is the case, it’s on you to create time to spend outdoors and improve your health. Another reason might be that you aren’t happy with your outdoor space; many homeowners don’t feel they have an ideal setup in their backyard. A concrete patio can give your backyard a look and feel that it deserves, and it creates a space in which you can watch your children play, a space you can enjoy eating meals in the summer, and a space where you can relax and unwind.
When shopping for a house, you probably didn’t give the fact there wasn’t a patio or a functional patio a second thought. Not all homes have a backyard with an excellent patio for the family to enjoy. Think of your backyard as an extension of your indoor space. You wouldn’t want to live in a house with a kitchen that doesn’t function well; you have something done to make it functional and pleasant. That very same attitude should apply to your backyard.
CREATING AN OASIS
Transforming your backyard into a personal oasis is more than just a dream—it's an achievable reality that begins with envisioning the potential of your outdoor space. The journey to creating a serene and inviting area for relaxation and entertainment starts with the basics, such as a well-designed patio. This foundational element sets the stage for a multitude of possibilities, from intimate gatherings around a cozy fire pit to lavish outdoor living rooms complete with plush seating and stylish décor. Opting for durable materials like wicker not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity against the elements.
As the warmer months beckon, the allure of dining al fresco becomes irresistible. Investing in a durable, weatherproof dining set allows you to savor meals under the sky, whether it's a quaint bistro set for smaller spaces or a more expansive setup for larger gatherings. The culinary experience is further enriched by outdoor cooking options, ranging from a classic grill to a bespoke BBQ island, perfect for hosting memorable summer feasts. Adding vibrant outdoor rugs and custom planters introduces color and texture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. For a touch of tranquility, consider incorporating ambient lighting and the soothing sounds of water features, such as fountains or koi ponds, to complete your backyard oasis.
We believe a patio is more than just a concrete slab in your backyard. It is a place for you, your family, and your friends to relax and unwind from today’s stresses and to build memories with loved ones for many years to come.
Knowing that, we understand this is a big responsibility and treat it as such. We know that the quality of your concrete patio will not only determine how you can use it, but the appearance and longevity will either give you a feeling of relaxation and bliss, or stress and anxiety. Because of that, we strive to do concrete patios right the first time and make sure we consider everything. Once your patio is done, it’s set in stone, literally.
